A kappaB sequence code for pathway-specific innate immune responses.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Toll and Imd pathways induce humoral innate immune responses in Drosophila by activating NF-kappaB proteins that bind kappaB target sites. Here, we delineate a kappaB site sequence code that directs pathway-specific expression of innate immune loci. Using bioinformatic analysis of expression and sequence data, we identify shared properties of Imd- and Toll-specific response elements. Employing synthetic kappaB sites in luciferase reporter and in vitro binding assays, we demonstrate that the length of the (G)(n) element in the 5' half-site and of the central (A,T)-rich region combine to specify responsiveness to one or both pathways. We also show that multiple sites function to enhance the response to either or both pathways. Together, these studies elucidate the mechanism by which kappaB motifs direct binding by particular Drosophila NF-kappaB family members and thereby induce specialized innate immune repertoires.
